One bit of UX that should be mandatory is a "never ask again" option on every dialog. Thunderbird is particularly annoying here since it keeps popping up random shit that I have to close every time. If I wanted to verify the pgp signature I would have by now. If I wanted to compact my emails I would have by now. Just leave me alone and let me read my stuff.
The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop.
He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.”
“Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?”
"That would be wonderful," says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones.
He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?”
The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track.
Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, "No, this just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognize any of these sounds."
The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track.
The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage.
"This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!"
The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over.
"What seems to be the problem, sir?"
"This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!"
The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly.
"I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side."
If anyone wants to do it for me I'd be appreciative >:P #AI #LLM

Bluh, I wish I had time to fuss with details of model conversion and stuff. I'm trying to see how small a model I could get to do function calling. Tried messing with dolphin-phi but it's a bit too dumb. There's this "adapter" over it that's tuned for function calling, but it's in the `safetensors` format whereas I need it to be in GGUF. 🤷
Sacrificed my night to the productivity gods. The output is the beginnings of the "ipti" CLI which is a tool for authoring / reading #IPLD databases based on my impl of the Prolly Tree spec.
It's not ready for release yet but this will make it easier to integrate into pipelines with bash or other languages without having to touch golang directly.
Indexer library here: https://github.com/RangerMauve/ipld-prolly-indexer
Note I don't have a standard for replicating over the network so it currently reads/writes CAR files
I'm back! Instance ran out of space 4 days ago and I managed to recover from it again. :P Every time it's like "will this be when my database is fully corrupted?" and so far on attempt #4 I'm still recovering.
Set up some automation and a failsafe that can free up a bit of data on the volume in case I run out again. See you in a few months when I run out again. 😂

Anyone want an indexed content addressed database oracle for their #blockchain use case?
https://www.endatabas.com/ is a pretty interesting new database: immutable, time travel queries, schemaless (it supports JSON-style nested documents) but queryable via SQL. More notes here:
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
